The paper is devoted to the analysis of air temperature variability over the coastal waters of the south-eastern part of the Baltic Sea. The study uses the data from the automatic hydrometeorological station located 20 km from the coast on the offshore ice-resistant fixed platform. The annual mean air temperature is 8.8±0.6" role="presentation">8.8±0.6
